For an extra layer of flavor, toast the cinnamon stick lightly in a dry pan before adding it to the milk. If you prefer a smoother pudding, strain the mixture through a fine-mesh sieve after cooking. Substitute almond milk or oat milk for a dairy-free version. A pinch of nutmeg adds a lovely warmth. Serve with a dollop of whipped cream or a scoop of vanilla ice cream for an extra-special treat. Experiment with different toppings, such as chopped nuts, chocolate shavings, or a drizzle of caramel sauce.
